(5) Where a transmission licensee has disconnected the supply of electricity to any premises in consequence of any default on the part of a consumer, the licensee shall, subject to the market rules, reconnect the supply of electricity to the consumer within a reasonable time if the consumer in default has—

(a) made good the default;
(b) paid the reasonable expenses of disconnecting and re-connecting the supply; and
(c) given such security as the transmission licensee may reasonably require.

(6) Where a market support services licensee receives any payment from a consumer and the consumer has not, in making the payment, indicated to the market support services licensee the charges in respect of which the payment is to be made, the licensee may apportion the payment received to pay such charges in such proportion and manner as may be prescribed.
